Teens
We are empowering the next generation. Teens are the future leaders of our community. We as a community need to ensure we’re giving them the power to succeed by providing opportunities to learn new skills and to discover and develop their talents. Through service-learning opportunities, leadership clubs, and the drop-in Center where middle school and high school teens are welcome, we’re creating an inviting and inspiring atmosphere for our youth to thrive.
We believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for the future. At RTH, children and teens learn values and positive behaviors and can explore their unique talents and interests, helping them realize their potential.
